Bathtub - A Place of Great Discovery

Bathtub - A Place of Great Discovery

"Would there be a place best to play and be free,
and let all summers pass in brief?" avr

Dr Abe V Rotor
Paul, Ronald and Jaja, at home in San Vicente (Ilocos Sur)

How missed Archimedes in his law of buoyancy,
     "Eureka! Eureka!" (I found it! I found it!)
For the value of gold and silver, yes, but didn't see
     Children growing up in a bathtub every minute;
More so, their joy and content that capture the sea
     In a crude receptacle of a sailing ship;
And would there be a place best to play and be free,
     And let all summers pass in brief?
"Eureka! Eureka!" resounds in the halls of history,
     Loudest in a bathtub though, not in the street;
And if someday sages come to liven that memory -
     These kids once that the world is glad to meet. ~
